and Matt Zimmerman, Former RV Executive at THOR Industries, founded Seaglass Pontoons.
Seaglass Pontooons History
Founded by industry veterans Bill Fenech, Matt Zimmerman and Andy Roeder, Seaglass Pontoons was created with a focus on thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship, accessible value and long-term customer relationships. Manufactured in Howe, Indiana, the company is preparing to begin accepting dealer orders in October, with initial shipments expected to begin in November.
“It’s an exciting time for Seaglass, our dealers and our future customers — and we’re just getting started. Nobody is laser focused on making affordable pontoons with striking designs and features. We are passionately filling that void,” said Zimmerman, President of Seaglass Pontoons. “Joining MRAA as a Boat Brand Partner and attending Dealer Week in Tampa gives us an opportunity to work alongside dealers who share that customer-first mindset and support their efforts to serve boaters in communities across North America.”
Seaglass Pontoons is built around the belief that boating should be simple, accessible and centered on time spent with family and friends on the water. The company says its approach emphasizes practical features, straightforward value and products designed to help consumers spend more time boating with less complexity. The inaugural lineup includes Quad Lounge and Versa Lounge floorplans in 20-foot and 22-foot models. The 22-foot models also are available in tritoon configurations.

By exhibiting at Dealer Week 2026, the company will have additional opportunities to connect with dealers from across North America.”
